custom ram air
I want to make a custom ram air for my car, but I am worried about problems. Like bugs, water, leaves, rocks,... mainly water. Can anybody who has ever built a custom ram air to come out at the front bumper tell me what kind of problems it caused, and how to deal with them. Thanks.. Rick

Re: custom ram air
The setup you're talking about might be too much air. All the air that you are getting will become usless if you still use the stock MAFS.

Re: custom ram air
He is saying you need to upgrade the whole intake for it to make a difference.

Re: custom ram air
Well the stock MAF is god awful, stuff gets stuck in there and it just messes up everything. There is a Lightning MAF that a lot of tuners have been using. It is much bigger than the stock one. But it requires a little bit of work to change. check out TCCOA.com for a full article on how to do it.

Re: custom ram air
yep. The Lightning 90mm MAF is what all the "quick" MN12 guys are usin. Just remember, when you change out your MAF, it messes up your computer, so you will need to have it tuned.

Re: custom ram air
The 90mm maf is typically too big for our cars. Unless you have serious upgrades (like a Kenne Bell Blowzilla supercharger) you really don't need much above 70mm coupled with a 65mm TB. Whatever MAF you use, it needs to be calibrated for your injector size.

Re: custom ram air
oh, man.. thats too much for me, I dont know about all that. Somebody would really have to break it down for me from the ground up before I would understand why. (about calibrating it for the injector size) I can understand about having too big of a MAF though.
